When AI and other digitisation is consuming us. When we're under threat of professional and personal homogenisation and habitualisation. It's more important than ever to define our own unique career brand, supported by our individual stories, values, experiences, drivers and nuances.
That's what inspired this podcast, interviewing a range of professionals who are more than their current job title. Who have other purposes and passions that inspire and complement how they earn a living. We'll discuss the worth of being a multifaceted human being, to inform and inspire ourselves and others.

In the first episode of The Human Behind the Career Brand podcast series, we delve into the passionate world of poetry with Amanda Anastasi. In addition to her work as a career development consultant, Amanda is also a highly regarded and credentialled poet in Melbourne's literary circles.
Amanda openly discusses her lifetime love affair with poetry. An artistic form of writing that has provided her with some really unexpected but rewarding life experiences. From creating and facilitating poetry workshops to help others sit in and reflect on their challenging life experiences such as grief. To attending climate change forums focused on the Oceania region as a poetry representative, highlighting the power of this artistic form to communicate across many challenging issues in a considered and collaborative manner.
And Amanda beautifully contextualises how the slow, reflective and heartfelt artform that is poetry can deliver personal and professional benefits for all of us.
